Los Angeles chapter of the Stuckist International.
We are dedicated to the rebirth of painting

world as it stands - and we actively work towards
a 21st Century Renaissance. Stuck in L.A.
- launching an artistic revolution with L.A.
style.

The
myartspace.com web log has published an extensive
interview with the L.A. Stuckist group.
The following is an excerpt from that interview:

"We
see Remodernism as the opening salvo of a movement
that has yet to truly arrive. The Remodernist ideal
goes far beyond just the restoration of painting
- it has to do with the rejection of the negativist
postmodern condition and the reclamation of the
human spirit, so it affects literature, cinema,
music, photography and all other creative disciplines
- not to mention societal, civic and political spheres."

web log is busting with information and opinion pieces.

Postmodernism
and other Monsters

"Words
do have meaning, but when writing about Modernism, Postmodernism,
and Remodernism, many are likely to become confused by the

"Let's
use paint to describe our lives now."

"We
all choose to be painters, but not as if rock & roll, television,
cars, cinema, jazz, and the whole 20th century never happened.
We’re saying, 'Let’s use paint to describe our lives now.'"
